Diane's Laundry Room
In memory of a dear friend.
The old laundry room:
Was a typical long and narrow space with very little room for movement. There was limited storage in the cabinets, and they were difficult to reach when standing in front of the oversized washer/dryer. There were very few items on the top shelves. The room also lacked countertop space for folding laundry, as well as a working surface for cleaning. There was no large sink, which was especially bothersome when cleaning out the two-cat litter box.
The new laundry room:
Focuses on expanding the size of the space and making it feel larger than it really is. We chose to keep the space light and bright with white custom-built cabinets and White Attica quartz by Caesarstone for the countertops and the backsplash.
We added a kitchen-size, single bow Silgranit sink by Franke with bottom grates. Under the sink we provided a space for all the necessities in a pull-out cleaning caddy that now houses all the cat litter cleaning products, not to mention a trash pullout with recycling as well as simple trash.
The washer and dryer are now housed in a cabinet with a countertop on top and an easy door lift for lots of storage. And of course, we had to create a specific location for the two-cat litter box, which is now hidden by a tall wicker basket.
The floor became our decorative statement for the space, so we chose a large-scale porcelain tile that has the look of a rug with colorful decorative elements. We added 3 LED modules and a Panasonic Whisper-Quiet Exhaust fan to help remove any odor and fine dust that might be raised by the cats.
